Bennetl early in the season, was responsiba for a sound performance when 1< won the Spring Handicap in decisive fashion on Saturday. He was making play with Mother-in-Law until int< .the straight and then ran on vei ? resolutely. He appreciated tic apprentice allowance of 51b, and th issue was nevei in doubt. Owr confident riding cost Le roquet, re j handicapped 610., a double victory foi the day in the Farewell Handicap | With Siguard settled shortly alter en Itermg tne straight, L. Baker allowet ILe Toquet io run along on the bit [ and it was not till Hasten came u on his outer that he realised he vva. jin danger. Hasten, who was in lul i acceleration, had forced his head n : front 50 yards off the post, and desperate bid by Baker to retrieve tin I situation just failed. I Hunter’s Eve was just collec‘.in ( money in the Macara Handicap a ‘ .Masterton on Saturday. With he II ider, B. Stow e, sitting pretty, shi was on the outer of Shining Hours U ‘the straight, and she then moved p ith the reins still slack. What th< • margin of her victory might have bee: . is only conjecture. She won this rac I last year, also tidden by Stowe, ww has only recently resumed his calling , after two bad mishaps. | V». 11.
